Why Driving a Surplus Military Truck May Not Be a Good Idea

While this happened a while ago, I’ve been having fun with lots of other posts. Anyhow, here goes.

Huntington Beach, CA police had an eventful night on September 10. Officers responded to a call of a suspicious military vehicle around 7:45 p.m. They found an elderly man driving a surplus military transport truck through town. Early on, officers heard several loud pops. These turned out to be backfires.

This elderly man led police on a chase for a short distance, reaching speeds of up to 10 mph. Yes, 10 mph!

When the man arrived at his business, the police arrested the man for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle.

The unnamed man was released later that evening.

Maybe driving something this large through town ISN’T such a good idea…
